Concept as to Outdoor LightingBased on the book Time Saver Standards for Landscape Architecture, Outdoor lighting is necessary to improve the legibility of critical nodes, landmarks, circulation and activity zones in the landscape; facilitating the safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles, promoting a more secure environment, and minimizing the potential for personal harm and damage to property and helping to reveal the salient features of a site at a desired intensity of light in order to encourage nighttime use.Clear Lighting PatternsClear optical guidance can be provided with the alignment of light fixtures positioned in consistent, recognizable, and unambiguous patterns. A staggered layout of road and pathway lights tends to obscure rather than reinforce the direction of circulation and the location of intersections.

Placement of Luminaires: Spacing, height, and distribution of luminaires should avoid foliage shadows, provide uniformity, and vertical surface illumination. High mounting and wide spacing of fixtures may result in disruptions to the illumination pattern due to tree]. Lower mounting heights and closer spacing between fixtures of may create a more uniform distribution light promoting the pedestrian's sense security.

Deciding What to Light: In some circumstances, it may be equally as important to determine what not to light as to determine what to light

Walkway Lights Walkway lights should have enough peripheral distribution to illuminate the immediate surroundings. Vertical light distribution over walkway areas should cover or overlap height of 2 100 mm so that visual recognition of other pedestrians is maintained. When the pedestrian's sense of security is a primary consideration, low mounting height with close spacing and a vertical illumination pattern may be the most effective approach.

CONCEPT AS TO INTERIOR LIGHTING IN HOTEL AND WELLNESS FACILITIES Energy-efficient light sources and advanced lighting control systems offer enormous potential energy savings combined with improved operating convenience.Lobby Reception acts as a hotels business card. This is where guests are welcomed and initially find their bearings. A friendly welcome and pleasant lighting, assist communicative processes. At the same time, appropriate lighting emphasizes the architectural concept of the hotel and can make brand differentiation clear. Besides this, service personnel need functional task lighting in reception areas.

Figure No. Reception Area of Hotel and Thermal Resort in Merano /Italy Guests entering the hotel for the first time to check in are unconsciously guided by the backlit reception desk. In addition, a recurring luminous field element is incorporated to good effect. Directional light from down lights ensures adequate illuminance in conformity with relevant standards.Hotel RoomA hotel room is a temporary home from home for guests. They want to feel welcome, relax and be able to seclude themselves in privacy. Thanks to flexible, intuitively controlled lighting options, guests can create their own feel good atmosphere.

DINING AREAS A hotel achieves distinctiveness through its unique service areas which offer the guest variety and an element of surprise. Unconventional lighting solutions fascinate and stimulate visitors and encourage them to revisit.

Figure No. SCHRAMMS Bar/Restaurant/Lounge in Germany Built-in LED light lines produce colored lighting effects. Ceiling and wall-mounted luminaires fitted with halogen lamps create perfect, pleasant lighting conditions on tables.

CORRIDORS Corridors must be functionally illuminated in conformity with relevant standards, but also put across an emotional atmosphere. Where necessary, it must be possible to use a conference room in the evening as a room for staging special functions this can be achieved by intelligently designed lighting. In functional areas, the emphasis is on efficient lighting for work which can be flexibly adapted to cater for various requirements.

Figure No. Hotel East, Member of Design Hotels, Hamburg / Germany The extraordinary arrangement of downlights in the corridor coves creates areas with different lighting levels, with room numbers highlighted. Light opens up the more brightly lit areas of the corridor, thereby creating an impression of more generous space which guides guests towards their rooms.Wellness AreaLight in spa areas should alleviate tensions and provides a calming and tranquil atmosphere, whereas, light in dining areas must ensure a memorable experience.

Multifunctional roomsMultifunctional rooms in hotels make heavy demands on lighting. Technologically perfect solutions should be integrated when it comes to sound, acoustics, video, blinds and light are expected, in order to be able to cater flexibly for a variety of uses. It must also be possible to variably and easily adapt the light to suit a particular use. Lighting control systems which make it possible to call up pre-set lighting scenes such as presentation, conference and banquet at the press of a button are definitely an advantage.

Figure No. Event room, Hotel Sonne, Mellau / Austria Symmetrically arranged compact downlights allow the room to be used for a wide variety of different purposes. The stage area is lit by professional stage lighting.

Circulation routes and technical equipment rooms Access and parking areas give guests a first impression of the qualities of a hotel. Store rooms and technical equipment rooms need adequate amounts of light in order to be able to get stocks or analyze errors quickly. Service corridors must be lit so that employees can perform their duties quickly and safely.

Light for safety LED emergency and escape sign should also be considered in the lighting design. Choose luminaires that are impressively compact and maintenance-free.
